Broiled Shad's Roe with Bacon

Wash thoroughly six pieces of shad's roe, wipe well with a towel, lay them on a dish and season with one good pinch of salt and two tablespoonfuls of sweet oil. Roll them gently to avoid breaking, arrange them on a broiler and broil for six minutes on each side. Remove from the fire, lay them on a hot dish and pour over one gill of maitre d'hotel butter. Garnish with six slices of broiled bacon and six quarters of lemon and serve.
